<p>We are seeking a few individuals to work on a wordpress site dedicated to third party/independent politics. Duties include posting press releases from various third parties and their candidates, as well as independent candidates. Other duties include posting debate videos (that include alternative candidates), ballot access efforts, general third/indy news, post polls and other items. You can help as much or as little as you would like. We just need you to be comfortable posting these items in an unbiased manner for a dozen or more different political parties, including some that you might not agree with. </p>
<p>If you would like more information or are interested, please send us a private message here on votecitizens.org (click on the <a href="http://www.votecitizens.org/profile/Citizens_Party" target="_blank">Citizens Party profile</a> and then click send message) or send us a private message to our facebook fan page. <a href="http://www.facebook.com/CitizensParty" target="_blank">http://www.facebook.com/CitizensParty</a>. </p> National Ballot Issuetag:www.votecitizens.org,2016-02-22:6348963:Topic:671172016-02-22T20:07:47.438ZWilliam Alfred Allenhttp://www.votecitizens.org/profile/WilliamAlfredAllen
Can anyone explain why it is so hard for a independent candidate to have their name added to the ballot in November?

<p>We have added most of our videos from this website (except non-Youtube videos) to our <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/TheCitizensParty" target="_blank">Citizens Party Youtube channel</a>. We will be removing all videos from our video section in the coming days and closing our video tab as we prepare to transition to a new website. You can continue to view our videos (except non-Youtube videos) on our Youtube channel. In addition, we will be adding dozens of additional new videos to our Youtube channel over the next few months. We plan to create a library of hundreds of useful and informative videos on our Youtube channel over the next several years. We will make every attempt to save and move the few non-Youtube videos to other Citizens Party websites. </p>
<p>Members can expect our video section to be removed before January 25th, but as soon January 21st. Please do not panic, simply go to our <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/TheCitizensParty" target="_blank">CitizensParty Youtube channel</a>. In addition to our Youtube channel, we will be adding videos to our new website and our official facebook page. </p>
<p>Thank you for your patience as we transition to a new home. </p>

<p> If you are even remotely thinking about running for office in 2016 and beyond, please let us know. The best way is to simply send me a <a href="http://www.votecitizens.org/profile/MichaelThompson" target="_blank">personal message</a> to my profile. <strong>Do not post your questions or interest on my profile wall or in the comments below for all the world to see.</strong> Go to <a href="http://www.votecitizens.org/profile/MichaelThompson" target="_blank">my profile</a> and click…</p>

<p> If you are even remotely thinking about running for office in 2016 and beyond, please let us know. The best way is to simply send me a <a href="http://www.votecitizens.org/profile/MichaelThompson" target="_blank">personal message</a> to my profile. <strong>Do not post your questions or interest on my profile wall or in the comments below for all the world to see.</strong> Go to <a href="http://www.votecitizens.org/profile/MichaelThompson" target="_blank">my profile</a> and click on "Send a Message" (just below my profile photo, name and city). Ideally, you should notify us BEFORE you make a final decision to run. I would suggest that you notify us years in advance if possible. You will likely need a good 6 months to 2 years of solid planning before you should even make a public announcement to run for office, if you want to increase your chances of being successful in your run. Very local campaigns will require less time to plan.</p>
<p> We are interested in running candidates that are qualified and well-prepared. Many third parties are happy with getting 5% of the vote in any given election, we are not. Let us know as soon as possible so that we can help you. We will give you honest feedback (including criticism, which is something that you will get plenty of if you wish to run for office). You must be completely committed to giving your time, effort and money (as well as asking everyone you know for money) and dedicated to winning. And that is only after you spend lots of time (months to years) learning, getting better prepared and more qualified for the position. </p> Let us know which videos you want us to transfer to the new websitetag:www.votecitizens.org,2014-12-21:6348963:Topic:634722014-12-21T01:25:06.663ZCitizens Partyhttp://www.votecitizens.org/profile/Citizens_Party

We will store most of our current video section on our Youtube channel for now. Then, we will later add some of them to the new sites. We will only include some of our old (current collection) videos in order to make room for future ones, including new original ones produced by the Citizens Party. So, please "like" and comment on your current favorite <a href="http://www.votecitizens.org/video" target="_blank">videos</a> on this site. We will make sure that we find a place on the new site(s) for the most popular (most "likes" and comments) videos. </p> Current content that will be migrated to the new sitetag:www.votecitizens.org,2014-12-20:6348963:Topic:634702014-12-20T23:12:28.305ZCitizens Partyhttp://www.votecitizens.org/profile/Citizens_Party
